NEQMAP: Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific

NEQMAP aims to improve the quality of learning in the Asia-Pacific by enhancing the use of student learning assessment to strengthen education systems. www.unescobkk.org/education/neqmap In recognition of growing interest in the Asia-Pacific region in sharing and exchanging experiences and best practices around the theme of monitoring of educational quality, UNESCO’s Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education (UNESCO Bangkok) established NEQMAP on 28 March 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The diagram below shows our theory of change - that if countries/jurisdictions of the region are able to regularly share and exchange experiences and best practices, if analytical work is undertaken around areas of concern in order to produce knowledge to inform policy, and if the capacity of institutions and systems to better monitor learning is built as needed, learning would be improved in education systems.
